ERAsTUs w1MAN AND MRS. GOULD
How the Canadian Baked Mrs. Gar
rett's Slight on Edith Kingdom.
7t,om "a Nelo ZOE lSur

From the Ne,0 Yorl; sun.
1t is pretty generally understood that Mr.
Robert Garrett has never liked Mr.. Jay Gould,
and the statement that he was not particularly
partial to Mr.. George Gould would stand of its
cwn weight It is not generally known. how
ever, that Robert CARROTS dislike for Gould
Dere and Gould ills has been transmitted to
Mrs. Robert Garrett, who, with a woman 5 fine
and deadly instinct, selected the most vulner-
able spot in the enemys armor, and made
stab at father and son through the latterS
young and lovely wife. The incident occurred
at the Montreal carnival last winter. The Mar
quis of LanSdowne Governor General of Cana
da. and Lady LansdOwne were present, and
they naturally attracted an attendance that was
not only unusually large, but was in great part
composed of people who moved in the best So
cial circles of Canada.
Among the Americans who were present were
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Garrett and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Gould. They were members of the
same carnival party, and had travelled together
from New York. Mrs Garrett had been pre-
sented to Lady Lansdowne, and casually men
toned the fact two or three times. Mrs George
Gould, who had not been presented to Lady
Lansdowne, was. naturally enough, DESTROYS to
meet the first Lady of Canada, and candidly
said so
There is a rule, generally rigidly enforced,
that such public affairs as a carnival for in
stance no stranger shall be presented to Lady
LanSdowne. This rule, however is occasionally
broken, but on rare occasions, and only when
has been obtained
Knowing his Swife's desire in the matter,
George Gould asked Robert Garrett if Mrs Gar
rest would act as a medium. Mrs. Garrett
coldly refused. She did not think that Lady
LanSdowne would care to meet young woman
who had been an actress. This refusal came to
the ears of New Yorker who was on the most
friendly terms with Lord Lansdowne and who
was. besides, on intimate terms with Robert
Garrett and George Gould. The matter was put
IN his hands, or rather, he took possession of it,
He told Lord Lansdowne that the wife of
New Yorker was anxious to be presented to the
Warehouses The lady had been an actress
and good one; she was a lovely woman, and
as bright and as good as she was lovely. Could
the rule be broken in her favor!
Broken. Lord Lansdowne said it could be
utterly smashed. His wife would be most
happy to meet Mrs George Gould He claimed
the honor of an introduction to Mrs. Could
and, having obtained it, presented Mrs. Gould
to Lady Lansdowne, who was delighted with the
lovely New Yorker, and was so gracious that
Mrs Gould was afterward the centre of attrac-
ton.
The New Yorker who engineered the affair so
deftly is a handy man to know. His name is
Erastus Wiman.

GOV ELI elandered

There appears to he a great deal OF activity
in circulating the report that Gov Hill, OF
New York, is secretly working to defeat his
party in New York this fall in order to in
crease his chances for getting the Presiden-
tial nomination next year. Those who be
leve he is doing anything of the kind can
not have a very high regard for him. There
is nothing wrong, of course, in his trying TO
elevate himself to the Presidency in fair
and honorable way, but there is much that
is wrong in his trying to do it in the way
alleged.
The defeat of the Democrats this fall in
New York would of course tend to create
the impression that Mr.. Cleveland could not
carry that State That it is necessary that
he should carry that State if he is nomi-
mated is admitted.
The aim of the Democrats will be to nomi-
nate a Presidential candidate who can carry
New York, and it cannot be denied that
Republican victory there next month would
give Mr.. Cleveland's political enemies
chance to cast doubt upon the ACCESSIBILITY
of nominating him. They would urge Gov.
Hills nomination on the ground of his abil
ity to carry New York.
Gov. Hill, however, could hardly assist in
carrying out such programme. His part
in it would become known, and his political
career would be ended. He is altogether
too wise to take such risk even if his in
clinations were in that direction.
The probability is that the story has TO
foundation whatever, and that he is now, as
he has always appeared to be, good friend
of the President. He knows that the Dem
ocratic party has about made up its mind
to renominate Mr.. Cleveland, and that I'M
less something occurs to induce it to change
its purpose it will do so. 1t may nominate
Gov. Hill for President at some future time,
but it will be soon enough to talk about him
in connection with the Presidency sew
eral years hence.

From HdTper's Bazaar.
The pumpkin pie is yellow,
The buckwheat cake is brown,
The farmers gray neck whiSkerS
Are full OF thistle down.
The leaves are crisp and russell,
The sumac's blazing red,
The butternut descending
Is cracked upon your head.
The rabbit is cavorting
Along the gloomy slope,
The shotgun of the sportsman
Eliminates his lope.
The butterfy's departed,
Likewise the belted bee,
The small boy in the orchard
Is up the apple tree.
The county fair is booming,
The circus is no more,
And ON the polished brass dogs
We make the hickory roar.
The trees wear lovely colors
In beautiful excess;
Ali nature seems to rustic
Just like new silk dress.
The sausage soon will ripen,
The popcorn soon will pop,
And Christmas things enliven
The window of the shop.
Sing hi for merry autumn,
Sing no! for autumn gay,
Whose pretty potpie squirrels
Among the branches play.
For now no merry bluebird
Upon the rose tree toots,
And autumn, golden autumn,
Serenely ups and SCOTS.

A French opera manager was in despair
at the prospect of having to produce
ballet, because the dancers refused to black
their faces for fear it would injure their
compilations. He issued an order, however
that all the young and pretty girls must
color their faces, because it would do them
no harm, while the old and plain ones
would be allowed to appear without black
faces, because they had more need to take
care of their looks. The result was that
every blessed one of the girls tried to get on
more black than any of the others, and
when the ballet was on the stage half
dozen extra calciums had to be used to keep
the audience from thinking the lights had
all gone out.

Senator Don Cameron has heretofore been
known as a rather reticent man, but he has
been talking of political matters lately with
a freedom which must worry some of his
party associates. His prophecy of Cleve-
lands reelection has already been men
toned and he has since been making some
remarks about Senator Edmunds A re-
porter having mentioned to him a rumor
that movement would be instituted to re-
tire the Vermont Senator from the head of
the Private Land Claims Committee, he ex-
pressed himself in sympathy with the move
ment in terms so plain that they have been
Considerably withheld" Mr.. Cameron is
probably disguised with the many blunders
of his party. and wants to take more of
leading position in it than he has hereto
fore occupied.

1t is now stated that the first report of the
death of Lady Brassey did not tell the
whole truth. She was not buried at sea,
but sprang overheard while delirious with
fever, and was drowned in spite of the
efforts of her husband, who promptly sprang
after her into the water. The many in this
country who have read her delightful book
1.-The Voyage of the Sunbeam" will be
shocked to know that the author met so
tragic a fate from the deck of the vessel
which figured so largely in her story.

Not a Place for Smuggling Matches.

Not a Place for Smuggling Matches.
The smuggling match between Mr.. j. F.
Manning, a Boston lawyer, and Mr.. Nc
Lehman, the chief of the Warrant Division
of the Treasury, in the ante
room of the Office of the Secretary
of the Treasury, must have given
the distinguished Englishman, who was
having an interesting interview upon an
important matter with the Secretary at the
time, the idea that there is not much red
tape in settling personal difficulties at the
national capital The affair was a disgrace
full one, and the offenders ought to be
punished so severely that nothing of the
kind would likely occur in any of the de-
partments again.
According to Mr.. Manning's story he
addressed an insulting remark to Mr.. Nc.
Lehman, the purport of which was that he
had accepted bride. Before Mr.. Manning
fully realized what had occurred he had a
bruised eye and bloody nose. In this con-
room, interrupted the conversation between
the Secretary and the distinguished English
man, and demanded protection against the
Infatuated Mr.. McLennan. The Secretary
could hardly have been otherwise than NOR
titled at an occurrence which appeared to
reflect upon the management of the depart
ment, and which was not easy to explain
satisfactorily.
Mr.. McLennan of course, had sufficient
justification for striking Mr. Manning, but
he ought to have selected different time
and place for that sort of work He can
offer no satisfactory excuse for inaugurating
fist fight not only in the Treasury building,
but on the very threshold of the private Of
flee of the Secretary. The impression will
get abroad that reforms other than those
which have been begun, are needed in the
civil service if there are any more rowdy
scenes in the departments at Washington in
which government employees are involved.
